Manchester United Are Keeping Tabs on Jamie Vardy As Cristiano Ronaldo’s Future Remains Unclear

• Jamie Vardy has emerged as a possible alternative for the unsettled Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United
• United will head into the first game of the new season with Antony Martial as the lead striker as Ronaldo's situation continues to unfold
• Vardy has been a constant source of goal contributions and has played a huge part in Leicester's successes in the last eight years

Manchester United are said to be keeping a close eye on Jamie Vardy's immediate future at Leicester City with the idea of signing him.

Vardy has one year left on his current deal and is yet to enter into official contract negotiations with Leicester.

United, meanwhile, might need to look for a striker as Cristiano Ronaldo's future at the club hangs in the balance. Ronaldo did not take part in the club's preseason training as he was away due to family issues.

But reports have also been rife that the prolific forward is angling for a move away. Sport Bible reports that United see Vardy as a possible replacement for the 37-year-old. Vardy is also advanced at 35 years but has been a regular source of goals for Brendan Rodgers's side.

The Foxes are yet to make any signing in this transfer window and Rodgers will be keen not to lose another key figure after the departure of Kasper Schmeichel.

Vardy had niggling injury issues last season but was still able to score 17 times across all competitions.
